I posted this snake image and story under an alias in order to see what would transpire. Gotta say I am very impressed with the number of folks that were spot on, (don't know that I would have guessed it correctly)!

We were saddened to see this nice wild male P.ruthveni fall to the wheels of a car. It was actually run over several year ago and has been residing in a freezer ever since. And, of course, no the exact locality won't be posted although it is common knowledge and wouldn't do anyone much good anyway.

In texas this species has full T&E protection and surely is N America's rarest snake!


Thumbs up to those who guessed correctly and I am right there with you if you were confused by the ID.... This animal looks so much different than the animals I have in my collection.

Thanks for playing!
